Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I've been looking at the 3" & 4" Superior Kits for a Prado and am looking for some general feedback on the pros and cons of the Profender vs AmadaXtreme remote res shock options.

There's limited to no use of either shock on the Prado forums so was looking for views here as to whether or not the ...

And in terms of reliability, no-one has had any issues but most aren't daily driving. The cases are bullet-proof.

A lot of guys are looking at the 4 spd versions as the extra cost isn't significant. Unfortunately IMO none of the ratio options are perfect (STAK 3 spd seem to have better spread of ...

From the guys I know running an Atlas in their Jeeps, they all mention that there's a bit of gear whine but a litte bit more noise is the last of the worries in a Jeep.

Not sure if the gears are straight cut and if so, that might be the cause of the gear noise.

Have a look around http://www.newhilux.net/phpbb/ and ask your questions there if you get no luck on Outers.

It may come down to wheel choice as much as lift and bumpstops but there's plenty of good info on there to point you in the right direction.

In our rooms with high ceilings around the ski resort we use a radiant style heater that works by using infared to heat you rather than trying to heat the air around you.

They work great.... not sure how much they are or how good they are for you but I can try to get some details if you're ...

While I can't comment specifically on the MTRs (never had them) most of our Resort vechiles have Cooper STs, STTs or BFG ATs on them and so long as you drive sensibly there's no problems at all.

I've got MTZs on my own rig and they've been fine as well.

If it's icy it'll always be slippery ...

I know a couple of guys who've used some subaru components to get the handbrake setup.

Cal from CalOffroad has this setup on his personal jeep and he should be able to help you out with the exact parts that you need.

I've had a hunt around but can't find anyone that has mated the 2 of these yet.

Anyone know of someone who's done it?

Anyone know if it's possible?

I never had it happen really bad on my GU but the panhard bushes, tie rod ends and wheel alignment are common culprits of those symptoms on jeeps.

Not sure on price, someone else might chime in but I'd be surprised if they were more than $30-$50 and they just need to be pressed in.

You can ...

Panhard bushes?

I'm looking at using some GQ diffs for a conversion but need to go to 5.13 ratios. The only listing I can find anywhere is on Marks Adapters site and they're almost twice what the 4.88s list for.

Are there other supplier options out there?

simple gratitude....thanks!

Quick, simple question... are they interchaneable?

Thanks.

have you done many road miles on yours? if so how are they wearing?

I originally got them when I had my GU coil cab and only got to do about 5000kms on them before I sold the ute and got my Jeep.

I only use them offroad on the Jeep and have done minimal kms with them so not really sure how they ...

My understanding is that the 37"+ Procomps were using a softer compound than the tyres up to and including 35".

Madmac - similar experience to you. Mine definitely feel softer than a normal tyre but are no where near as soft as a friend's 37" and 40" sticky claws.

Wooders,

I've recently been wondering whether the AiRock interface, computer and height sensors could be integrated with some of the airbags that have been developed for Patrols and Cruisers to effectively create an AiRock solution for the larger wagons and utes out there.

I appreciate that there ...

Why bother do this 44k conversion in australia naymore?? :shock:

It's not like we get the thick powder anymore, I'd like to see how quick they sink in Northern canada where 4 foot of pow can fall overnight!!!

I think you've misunderstood the real attraction of these for the australian resorts ...

They are indeed mattracks and there are at least 2 privately owned roopies and a jackaroo plus the ambos that have been fitted with them this year as far as I know.

I work year round for Perisher and we've fitted them to one of our troopies as a test. I can confirm that they are much closer to the ...

I use one on my Jeep - it allows you to read and reset the "check engine" codes and on the odd occasion that it's running trouble free, you can use the guage to provide 4 simulataneous readings from the computer while driving.... everything from a recalibrated speedo reading to voltage to throttle ...

We have used kero up here in the snowfields a couple of times to help get people out of trouble but I'm not sure how good that is for your engine longer term.

I have the 325/85/16 which is basically the 37x13.5x16 and I've run them on 16x8's on my GU coil cab and now on 16x10's on my TJ.

They seemed to hold a bead quite fine when I aired down on the 16x8's but definitely crowned significantly at street pressures. On the 16x10's they seem to provide a ...

I've done a lot of reading and have a couple of questions on the following setup that would be going in a Jeep running 37's. Basic setup that I'm considering is:
* Axle sides 'flipped' to make the diff a passenger side drop
* Some trussing
* MQ knuckles for high-steer

The rear can just be ...

For those of us that have no exposure / experience with these sort of things, can any of you guys give us a basic idea of what sort of pda (specs, etc) and what else you need to put something together like this?

What are the advantages of the pda setup over something like a Gramin 276C assuming ...

DAMN you put alot of thought into that one huh....
goodluck, put the old rear drums on it and flog it off then?

I know of at least 3 people who have had buggy diffs built this way . . . . unfortunately all the parts that I am after were all introduced to the hopper.

The old drums are still on ...

might i suggest just using a 60 diff??
throw one in the front now too. they are getting so cheap and you get extra width also??

We did consider that option but the rig is just being put back together so it can be sold and we really can't justify spending any more than we have to on it. If we were ...

Hoping someone might be able to tell me whether or not a 60 series rear drum assembly (the ones with the integrated handbrake) will bolt straight up to a 40 series diff assuming that I can get the full assembly and backing plate . . . appreciate that I'll need to source or fabricate the handbrake ...

This is what you would be looking for . . .

I'm running some of the remote cannister units front and rear in my TJ. I've been pretty happy with them and reckon that they've only been outdone by the custom Koni's I got built for the GU cab chassis that I owned before this Jeep.

My only complaint has been that the rod end joints in clunk from ...

The problem with judging a differential's performance on their integrity at Tuff Truck is that A LOT of the drivers used plenty of right foot to make up for poor choice in driving lines and plain "average" driving. Those rigs were also generally substantially heavier than a TJ.

There are plenty of ...

I run a 4.5" RE short arm kit and have a 1" body lift, more to allow me to put in the MML than for tyre clearance. I've got 35's and have even had my old 37" Xterrains under the Jeep with this setup. I get full flex with the 35s and no rubbing. The 37s rubbed on the front guards but I've got 3 ...
